I cannot exclude a directory from being touched.
The solution has to be simple, any advice?

I tried a simple task:
deleting all files with *.bak at the end.
No problem so far.
But in XP there is a directory called
C:\System Volume Information

I cannot exlude it from being touched.

I tried
<exclude name="C:\System Volume Information\*"/>
as well as
<exclude name="C:\System*"/>

but all leads to an ant error:

BUILD FAILED
